Letting
Go of the Person You Used to Be

Letting Go of the Person You Used to Be (review
or buy) addresses life's most universal difficulties in a way that
is accessible to all. By using memorable concepts such as The Virtues of
Adversity, The Pearl Principle ("No inner irritation, no
pearl"), and Gaining through Loss, Surya reminds readers that hiding
from change and loss is futile. Learning to consciously accept and embrace
change leads to a better understanding of ourselves and our own innate
divine light.
